Carlos Almanzar
[edit] Biography
Carlos Manuel Almanzar GirĂ³n (b. November 6, 1973 in Santiago, Dominican Republic) is a pitcher with the Richmond Braves. Previously, he had pitched for the Toronto Blue Jays, San Diego Padres, New York Yankees, Cincinnati Reds, Texas Rangers, and Atlanta Braves.
Almanzar was involved in an infamous incident involving some Rangers teammates and Oakland Athletics fans on September 13, 2004, that ultimately resulted in teammate Frank Francisco throwing a chair into the stands and hitting a fan, causing her to suffer a cut. He was suspended briefly for the incident.
On October 4, 2005, Almanzar, who had missed most of the 2005 season due to a torn elbow ligament that required Tommy John surgery to repair, was suspended for 10 days by MLB authorities for failing a steroids test. He indicated that he would appeal the suspension.
Most people believe that Carlos Almanzar's best season was 2004, when he posted a 3.72 ERA.
